spike(787): Nano Banana 2 Lite is real and usable; its binding is unverifiable - #790

Conversation
…erifiable The capability spike the model-governance waiver demanded before this tier ships. PR #787 removes that waiver; this is what it was waiting for. RUNG 1 CHANGED THE QUESTION, TWICE. The 2026-08-26 cost/quota catalogue already establishes that image generation costs 0 Flow credits, so "cost" for an image tier means daily quota -- and that "daily quota has no such oracle. It is observable ONLY on exhaustion, via the 429." So the cost half of "cost/quality" cannot be answered without deliberately burning an account's day. Recorded as unanswerable rather than inferred. It also exposed a sharper question. migrated_composer builds its result with model_name_type=request.model.value -- it ECHOES our own request. The labs path reads generated["modelNameType"] from the response; this one does not. And image_records decodes ids, url, seed, prompt and dimensions with no model field at all. So "it generated an image with --model nano2-lite" proves the UI did not error, not that the tier bound. WHAT WAS MEASURED (4 generations, 0 credits). The tier is real: HARBOR_SEAL and "Nano Banana 2 Lite" both appear in HTrJv, Flow's own model catalogue for this account -- corroboration from a surface that is not our request reflected back. The quality is fine and is NOT ranked: both arms returned 1024x1024 RGB at 428,799 and 384,036 bytes with no visible degradation, lite slightly more textured. One prompt cannot rank two tiers and this does not try to. It supports the narrower claim the waiver needed: lite works and returns a usable image at full resolution. The binding is UNVERIFIABLE. Both ogiZ0b submit replies were real payloads (~1141 B) and neither carried any model token. Re-opening the project, HTrJv carries every model token and no media ids; Zzl0ze carries both media ids and no model tokens. The catalogue lists models, the media listing lists media, and nothing joins them. So neither #787's live check nor mine can establish that --model nano2-lite bound rather than silently falling back. That is the third pre-registered reading, reported as unmeasured. Surfaced and not about Lite: model_name_type on the migrated path is an unbacked claim on EVERY migrated image, for every tier. Pre-existing on develop, filed separately. Refs #787 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Nr4XuvvZv3PrL3pKEzkrLc

Record provenance for artifact measurements.
The live-verification contract requires a user-confirmable artifact and reproducible measurements for generation claims. The script records dimensions and media IDs, but not the image bytes or their location. Therefore, the JPEG format, RGB mode, byte counts, and visual observations cannot be reproduced from the committed script and raw JSON. Record an artifact path and hash with the measurement method for each arm, or remove these unsupported claims.

Await response-body reader tasks before evaluating observations.
asyncio.ensure_future(_read()) only schedules each reader. The fixed sleeps do not guarantee that resp.text() has completed before the listener is removed and the client closes. Track both reader tasks and await them before returning replies or found; otherwise, delayed reads can produce incomplete attribution results.

Preserve generation results when project loading fails.
If page.goto raises, verify_attribution exits before main writes the result JSON. Catch the navigation exception, return an attribution error with partial observations, and remove the response listener in finally.

…whole project load "Unverifiable" was challenged as too strong. Fair, and the boundary has moved. The first pass searched two replies and FILTERED, recording only ones already containing a media id or a model token. This pass removes the filter: every batchexecute reply on a project load, 20-21 of them, all checked. HTrJv 24,760 B all six model tokens no media ids Zzl0ze 41,906 B no model tokens both media ids tRARke 31,883 B none none 17 more 139-3,964 B none none No reply carries both. The join is absent from a whole project load, not merely unread on the two surfaces first checked. The page was checked too, because a UI that displays it proves the data is reachable. Two tier labels exist -- span.settings-summary and span.model-select-trigger-content -- but the first appears ON LOAD, before any interaction, so both are composer picker state rather than a property of an image. ONE READING REMAINS OPEN and would flip this: whether a tier label tracks the media you open. In one run the label read "Nano Banana 2" on load and "Nano Banana 2 Lite" after a thumbnail click -- either the settings pane showing current state, or the opened media loading its own settings into the composer, which would be attribution. The two could not be separated: thumbnail src does not carry the media id, so a per-media A/B could not be targeted, and a later run matched zero tiles. Named rather than buried. Two notes that reframe #789: gflow drives the SAME web app a user drives, so no privileged surface is being missed -- the difference is between HOSTS, since labs REST returns modelNameType per image and the migrated wire does not appear to. And Flow does store a model per media for VIDEO on the labs shape, so the concept exists in their data model, which is why "find the join" is worth keeping open rather than writing off. No evidence this is regional: region gating changes which models an account is OFFERED -- and this account is offered Lite -- not whether a reply carries a field. Untested from another region, so no claim either way. Refs #789 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Nr4XuvvZv3PrL3pKEzkrLc

Wait for every response-body read before deriving the result.
Lines 126 and 138 can omit observed batchexecute replies. _read() is untracked, and Line 148 snapshots replies without awaiting pending reads. A slow or late response can therefore be absent from joins_media_and_model. A body-read failure is also discarded without recording that the reply existed.
Track the read tasks, await a bounded drain before each result snapshot and before output, and record a body-read error in the reply metadata instead of dropping the reply.
Also applies to: 138-138
